Black Widows Guide

Black Widows are notorious among spiders for being very dangerous to humans and for their distinct appearance. They are commonly found in dark covered areas in homes like garages or storage areas in basements. Take extra care when dealing with or identifying these harmful pests.

Treatment

Black Widows

Our black widow treatment starts by applying our insecticide product to any and all spiderwebs. We also utilize a spray to any spiders directly and a unique powder application is applied to any areas they might be like corners, eaves, behind furniture, in storage areas, and more to prevent new spiders from appearing. Residual liquid sprays applied to the outside perimeter of the home are not as effective because of the black widow spider’s web-sitting behavior.

Our pest experts take a tailored approach when treating your property and work to ensure that your concerns are addressed and your home is protected, inside and out. We’re dedicated to providing you with peace of mind and making sure you enjoy your home. For specialized spider control and to discover how we can help you, find a location near you and experience our exceptional service.
